Minimally Invasive Anesthesia New Option for Cosmetic Surgery

Bispectral index monitored propofol ketamine sedation (BIS for short) is now trademarked as MIA- no, not missing in action, but, instead, "minimally invasive anesthesia."

This is good news for those of you considering cosmetic surgery, as [tag-tec]BIS sedation[/tag-tec] offers a lower anesthesia risk than the other forms of anesthesia usually used in cosmetic surgery procedures.

The BIS method monitors brain activity, and assigns levels of sedation from 1-100. By monitoring the activity of the brain, patients can be sedated with 25% less drug in their body. This means that risks of anesthesia related complications goes down.

This method of sedation is also less expensive than traditional anesthetics, and has fewer side effects.

If you're considering some kind of skin treatment, ask your doctor about the new minimally invasive anesthetics.
